Actually, I don't like the look of that thing. It looks like a glowing Casio VLtone "keyboard" for someone who doesn't play keyboard. It's the equivalent of a GuitarHero guitar

One of the McMillen product reps lives a couple blocks from me, so I've gotten to play with the QuNexus quite a bit already. I for one thought it was amazing, can't wait to get mine. It's light and bendy, but still feels solid and is remarkably expressive. I think it will likely replace my MPK25 in fact. Very excited for this to get released.

I would wish that controller manufacturers actually put some emphasis on some controllers with actual good key action. Most controllers I've worked with action is either too light or too clunky.

A-Freaking-Men! This has been driving me crazy for years, too many cheap midi contollers and not enough small but solid controllers with decent key beds.

I think that they all want to make their product look like a spaceship control panel! It looks great in the shop, much easier to sell than a keybed, or a per-key lateral sensor.

When it comes to products and profits there are millions of hot-headed young first timers with $150 to spend, who will be seduced by what appears to be an all-in one product which uploads directly to Beatport/Facebook. "Pro" is aspirational rather than descriptive on these controllers.

Every now an then I like to pop in and express my longing wish for the Keith McMillen crew to make a qwerty style keyboard, except with their snazzy pressure/midi features! I'd love to be able to quickly switch between typing and control/playing

I recently preordered one as well. Position touch and Polyphonic aftertouch, plus CV out. I have uses for all three. It looks like a toy for sure, but if the software is versatile I'm going to be using it a lot.

I hate keyboard controllers. They all have fatal flaws. But I don't know that I need "new" or "interesting" as the OP stated. I just need one that works (and I like transport controls, though don't use it too much with live)
